Serve - Shallowford Presbyterian Church

At Shallowford, we seek to love God and love our neighbor through service to our members, our community, and to the world.

Serve Shallowford

Each member of our congregation is charged with offering love, care, and support for one another. We accomplish this mission through a variety of programs designed to meet the many different needs of our members.

Funding

Shallowford joyfully invests thousands of volunteer hours and over $100,000 in mission annually. We are blessed to have two sources for financial support of missions, and we welcome your applications and fresh ideas for service.

Mission Budget

The annual Mission Committee Budget supports the work of our 10 diverse Mission partners. The Committee places a high value on partnering with relational, responsive, responsible organizations. Each year in September, the Mission Committee reviews existing and accepts new Mission Partner applications.

Mission Forward Fund

The Mission Forward Fund was established through the generosity of the Mission Tithe from the 2014 “Rooted in Faith Forward in Hope” Capital Campaign and the Support & Endowment Committee’s “Special Ministries” and “Mission and Benevolence” Funds. The Mission Forward Fund supports special opportunities for Shallowford to participate in God’s mission. Opportunities may include supporting Shallowford’s participation in mission, the program cost of a project, or the capital cost. Projects are considered time-limited, with a specific, tangible outcome that moves the mission of an organization forward.
